India faces $11.4 trillion in diabetes costs by 2050, second only to the U.S., due to high prevalence and caregiving burdens.
India ranks second globally in diabetes-related economic costs, projected at $11.4 trillion through 2050, behind the U.S. at $16.5 trillion, according to a Nature Medicine study.
The research, based on data from 204 countries, finds informal caregiving accounts for nearly 90% of the burden, driven by high diabetes prevalence and long-term care needs.
